Queen Biography

Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen.
Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as
vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp
and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars
and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly
accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums
boasted the motto no synthesizers were used on this record, signaling
their allegiance with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard rock bands.
But vocalist Freddie Mercury brought an extravagant sense of camp to
the band, pushing them toward kitschy humor and pseudo-classical
arrangements, as epitomized on their best-known song, Bohemian
Rhapsody. Mercury, it must be said, was a flamboyant bisexual who
managed to keep his sexuality in the closet until his death from AIDS
in 1991. Nevertheless, his sexuality was apparent throughout Queen's
music, from their very name to their veiled lyrics -- it was truly
bizarre to hear gay anthems like We Are the Champions turn into
celebrations of sports victories. That would have been impossible
without Mercury, one of the most dynamic and charismatic frontmen in
rock history. Through his legendary theatrical performances, Queen
became one of the most popular bands in the world in the mid-'70s; in
England, they remained second only to the Beatles in popularity and
collectibility in the '90s. Despite their enormous popularity, Queen
were never taken seriously by rock critics -- an infamous Rolling Stone
review labeled their 1979 album Jazz as fascist. In spite of such
harsh criticism, the band's popularity rarely waned; even in the late
'80s, the group retained a fanatical following except in America. In
the States, their popularity peaked in the early '80s, just as they
finished nearly a decade's worth of extraordinarily popular records.
And while those records were never praised, they sold in enormous
numbers, and traces of Queen's music could be heard in several
generations of hard rock and metal bands in the next two decades, from
Metallica to Smashing Pumpkins.
The origins of Queen lay in the hard rock psychedelic group Smile,
which guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor joined in 1967.
Following the departure of Smile's lead vocalist, Tim Staffell, in
1971, May and Taylor formed a group with Freddie Mercury, the former
lead singer for Wreckage. Within a few months, bassist John Deacon
joined them, and they began rehearsing. Over the next two years, as all
four members completed college, they simply rehearsed, playing just a
handful of gigs. By 1973, they had begun to concentrate on their
career, releasing the Roy Thomas Baker-produced Queen that year and
setting out on their first tour. Queen was more or less a straight
metal album and failed to receive much acclaim, but Queen II became an
unexpected British breakthrough early in 1974. Before its release, the
band played Top of the Pops, performing Seven Seas of Rhye. Both the
song and the performance were a smash success, and the single rocketed
into the Top Ten, setting the stage for Queen II to reach number five.
Following its release, the group embarked on its first American tour,
supporting Mott the Hoople. On the strength of their campily dramatic
performances, the album climbed to number 43 in the States.

Queen released their third album, Sheer Heart Attack, before the end of
1974. The music hall meets Zeppelin Killer Queen climbed to number
two on the U.K. charts, taking the album to number two as well. Sheer
Heart Attack made some inroads in America as well, setting the stage
for the breakthrough of 1975's A Night at the Opera. Queen labored long
and hard over the record; according to many reports, it was the most
expensive rock record ever made at the time of its release. The first
single from the record, Bohemian Rhapsody, became Queen's signature
song, and with its bombastic, mock-operatic structure punctuated by
heavy metal riffing, it encapsulates their music. It also is the symbol
for their musical excesses -- the song took three weeks to record, and
there were so many vocal overdubs on the record that it was possible
see through the tape at certain points. To support Bohemian Rhapsody,
Queen shot one of the first conceptual music videos, and the gamble
paid off as the single spent nine weeks at number one in the England,
breaking the record for the longest run at number one. The song and A
Night at the Opera were equally successful in America, as the album
climbed into the Top Ten and quickly went platinum.

Following A Night at the Opera, Queen were established as superstars,
and they quickly took advantage of all their status had to offer. Their
parties and indulgence quickly became legend in the rock world, yet the
band continued to work at a rapid rate. In the summer of 1976, they
performed a free concert at London's Hyde Park that broke attendance
records, and they released the hit single Somebody to Love a few
months later. It was followed by A Day at the Races, which was
essentially a scaled-down version of A Night at the Opera that reached
number one in the U.K. and number five in the U.S. They continued to
pile up hit singles in both Britain and America over the next five
years, as each of their albums went into the Top Ten, always going gold
and usually platinum in the process. Because Queen embraced such mass
success and adoration, they were scorned by the rock press, especially
when they came to represent all of the worst tendencies of the old
guard in the wake of punk. Nevertheless, the public continued to buy
Queen records. Featuring the Top Five double-A-sided single We Are the
Champions / We Will Rock You, News of the World became a Top Ten hit
in 1977. The following year, Jazz nearly replicated that success, with
the single Fat Bottomed Girls / Bicycle Race becoming an
international hit despite the massive bad publicity surrounding their
media stunt of staging a nude female bicycle race.

Queen were at the height of their popularity as they entered the '80s,
releasing The Game, their most diverse album to date, in 1980. On the
strength of two number one singles -- the campy rockabilly Crazy
Little Thing Called Love and the disco-fied Another One Bites the
Dust -- The Game became the group's first American number one album.
However, the bottom fell out of the group's popularity, particularly in
the U.S., shortly afterward. Their largely instrumental soundtrack to
Flash Gordon was coldly received later in 1980. With the help of David
Bowie, Queen were able to successfully compete with new wave with
1981's hit single Under Pressure -- their first U.K. number one since
Bohemian Rhapsody -- which was included both on their 1981 Greatest
Hits and 1982's Hot Space. Instead of proving the group's vitality,
Under Pressure was a last gasp. Hot Space was only a moderate hit,
and the more rock-oriented The Works (1984) also was a minor hit, with
only Radio Ga Ga receiving much attention. Shortly afterward, they
left Elektra and signed with Capitol.

Faced with their decreased popularity in the U.S. and waning popularity
in Britain, Queen began touring foreign markets, cultivating a large,
dedicated fan base in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, continents that
most rock groups ignored. In 1985, they returned to popularity in
Britain in the wake of their show-stopping performance at Live Aid. The
following year, they released A Kind of Magic to strong European sales,
but they failed to make headway in the States. The same fate befell
1989's The Miracle, yet 1991's Innuendo was greeted more favorably,
going gold and peaking at number 30 in the U.S. Nevertheless, it still
was a far bigger success in Europe, entering the U.K. charts at number
one.

By 1991, Queen had drastically scaled back their activity, causing many
rumors to circulate about Freddie Mercury's health. On November 23, he
issued a statement confirming that he was stricken with AIDS; he died
the next day. The following spring, the remaining members of Queen held
a memorial concert at Wembley Stadium, which was broadcast to an
international audience of more than one billion. Featuring such guest
artists as David Bowie, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Def Leppard, and Guns
N' Roses, the concert raised millions for the Mercury Phoenix Trust,
which was established for AIDS awareness. The concert coincided with a
revival of interest in Bohemian Rhapsody, which climbed to number two
in the U.S. and number one in the U.K. in the wake of its appearance in
the Mike Myers comedy Wayne's World. Following Mercury's death, the
remaining members of Queen were fairly quiet. Brian May released his
second solo album, Back to the Light, in 1993, ten years after the
release of his first record. Roger Taylor cut a few records with the
Cross, which he had been playing with since 1987, while Deacon
essentially retired. The three reunited in 1994 to record backing tapes
for vocal tracks Mercury recorded on his death bed. The resulting
album, Made in Heaven, was released in 1995 to mixed reviews and strong
sales, particularly in Europe. Crown Jewels, a box set repackaging
their first eight LPs, followed in 1998. Archival live recordings, DVDs
and compilations kept appearing through the new millennium. In 2005 the
Queen name was revived but this time with + Paul Rodgers appended to
it. Rodgers, the former lead singer of Free and Bad Company, joined
Brian May and Roger Taylor -- John Deacon remained retired -- for some
live shows, one of which was documented on 2005's Return of the
Champions, a double disc on the Hollywood label. ~ Stephen Thomas
